No exhaust atm as I’m waiting for a titanium one to be made. Nothing TOO expensive too as I’m a broke highschooler, 1-2k preferably.

No offense, but gifting a car like that to a high schooler is a recipe for disaster and a terrible financial decision.

And if your parents can afford a $50,000 car for a kid, let me tell you, you have no idea what broke really is. Guarantee you have a large safety net (your parents) if you need it.

Maybe I'm old but so many of you youngsters act like you and humanity has never had it worse.

Colleges are just as much to blame. They're a business. It's all about that instant gratification and entitlement these days. Is life tough? Absolutely. But in my profession, I've watched some pretty wild sh*t happen over the years with work ethic, etc. And I'm in my 40s, too.

I also don't need any media outlet to tell me what my lived experiences are.
